5 Favorites for Sun Protection

May 29, 2021

Memorial Day Weekend is here! It’s time for the summer months and fun in the sun. With little ones, fun in the sun does come with some work: sun protection. It’s something I feel that if you plan ahead and get the right gear, you can have more fun and less stress on the hot sunny days of summer. Today I’m sharing 5 favorites for sun protection for babies and toddlers. 

Sun Protection for Babies and Toddlers 

1. Favorite Sun Shirts 

We’ve been wearing the Veyo Kids sun shirts, the Sun Hoodies, for a few years now. They are by far my favorite for a number of reasons. First off, they have UV protection rated at 40+ so awesome sun protection. They are also thin and comfortable so the kids love to wear them. The Veyo Kids style also works for both swim and play and they dry fast. We have these in every size now because all of my kids… from baby on up like them!

Veyo Kids has 20% off for Memorial Day with code: SUMMER on their site. You can also find them on Amazon. I find they run very true to size for the toddlers and kids. They don’t come smaller than 2t but I get that one for my babies and it’s the perfect shirt to throw on at the beach even though it’s a little big. Then it fits perfect next year. For reference Teddy is in size 12m clothes but is wearing the 2t in these photos. 

2. Sun Hats that Stay On

Another item from Veyo Kids! The Veyo Kids Nogginz are awesome for sun protection especially if your little one tries to take their hat off all day. Nogginz are UPF 50 + and have an oversized brim that blocks more sun. They also have a safety release chin strap and easy adjust bungee toggle. The other reason it’s good for hot days is that it has a mesh lining that keeps little noggins cool.

Same as the sun hoodies: you can order on the Veyo Kids website with code SUMMER for 20% off or find them on Amazon. Either way you shop, I think you will love Veyo for sun protection. We’ve been using them for years! 

3. Baby Sunscreen 

I have used different baby sunscreens over the years. I try my best to read up on which are safe and also try and find brands that work well too. A few months ago when we went to Florida I tried out Super Goop for the whole family and was so impressed. The Sunnyscreen 100% Mineral Spray SPF 50 Baby Sunscreen is currently my favorite baby and toddler sunscreen. It’s easy to put on and works really well. Even in the super strong Florida sun, Teddy was well protected (and the other kids were too!). 

4. Easy to use pop up tent 

We have tried a lot of beach gear over the years… 10 years of babies & toddlers on the beach and I had never found a great tent or baby playard that was functional and not a pain to bring to the beach. That is until we went to Florida a few months ago and I rented a California Baby Co Pop N Go Playpen. It’s so cool. It folds up smaller than a folding beach chair and you pop it up in seconds. It’s design is so much nicer than others I have tried and my little ones loved it. They are currently 55% off for their Memorial Day sale. 

5. Folding wagons with canopy 

Teddy spent his first spring at home with nowhere to go…but his second spring…. well he’s been on the go at all kinds of sibling sporting events. We got Teddy a Keenz wagon for his 1st birthday. It is a wagon with a canopy and something I wish I had for all my babies/toddlers.

It has 5 point harnesses in it for walks and then when we are at the game, park, beach etc it’s like a pack n play on wheels. The canopy on the wagon is a game changer for sun protection. There are a number of wagons with a canopy but  the thing I like about the Keenz is that it’s so big that all 3 of my boys can sit in it and it’s still easy to push.
